MUClLAGE-BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 430,619, dated June 24, 1890.

. Application filed April 26, 1887. Serial No. 236,163. (No model.)

'To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN R. CAHOONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mucilage-Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en able others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in mucilage-bottles; and the essential or leading object of the invention is the provision of an inexpensive article of this character which will secure a greater freedom of flow of the mucilage to the sponge employed in applying the mucilage to the surface to be glued.

A further object is the provision of a mucilage-bottle in which the sponge or absorbent material for applying the mucilage shall have the proper flexible or brush action in applying the mucilage, whereby it will be placed smoothly and evenly on the surfaces.

To attain the desired objects the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, substantially as hereinillustrated, described, and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawin gs is illustrated an embodiment of my invention, although slight changes in the details and arrangement may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention, and in said draw- 1ngs Figure 1 represents an elevation of my improved mucilage-bottle. Fig. 2 represents a central vertical section thereof. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 represent detail views illustrating certain novel features of my invention.

Referring by letter to the drawings, in which similar letters denote corresponding parts in all the figures, a indicates a bottle'of any ordinary construction, but preferably of a long and narrow shape, in order that it may (Z is a disk of wood, metal, leather, or other suitable material, which is perforated, as at e, to allow the passage of mucilage therethrough. Said disk is or may be provided with a series of perforations, as f, and through the same may be passed threads f or other fasteners, which bind or hold the sponge securely thereto. The disk (Z has its periphery formed with threads d, which engage the threads of the sleeve 0, and thus retain the disk in place, and the disk is provided at the perforation c with the tubular extension g, and the sponge it rests upon said disk and is secured thereon by the fastenings passing through it and the perforations f of the disk. The sponge is covered and protected by a cap I), of any approved form.

It is evident that the mucilage is fed freely to all parts of the sponge, permitting it to be applied properly to the surface to be glued.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The herein-described mucilagebottle, consisting of the bottle proper having a threaded mouth, the threaded sleeve engaging the mouth, the disk having the tubular projection, the openings around the same, and the threaded periphery engaging the threaded sleeve, the sponge resting on the disk and surrounding the tubular extension thereof, and the threads passing through the sponge and the openings in the disk for securing the sponge to the disk.

2. A mucilagebottle having a threaded mouth, a threaded sleeve on said mouth, a perforated disk having threads engaging the threads of the sleeve and having a tubular extension, and a sponge or absorbent surrounding the said extension and secured to the disk.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of April, 1887.

EDWIN R. CAHOONE.
